Sommario/riassunto

Most interventions for at-risk youth are group based. Yet, research indicates that young people often learn to become deviant by interacting with deviant peers. This volume analyzes how, and to what extent, programs that aggregate deviant youth actually promote problem behavior. It offers recommendations for improving services.
